Honest Abe's Guide to Presidential Elections
Honest Abe's Guide to Presidential Elections, by Jack Silbert, informs readers about the US election process. It's written from the point of view of Abraham Lincoln, and covers most everything a teacher would cover, with a bit of humor thrown in. It is written in clear and understandable language that would be a good fit for third through fifth or sixth graders. It has fun cartoon illustrations and a glossary of terms.
Honest Abe's Guide to Presidential Elections is a great book to use during a civics discussion or around election time. Students could use what they learn from it to hold a mock presidential election in the classroom. It also provides great topics for debates and essays.
